I have by pure chance seen some of Wylie's still life works yesterday night through a the dark window of a gallery which is close to my house !

I respect his desire to go in a certain direction with his work, though for how much I try I still cannot bring myself to like any hyperrealistic work.
The BP in recent years seems to be going very much toward photographic reproduction (as my tutor said, leaving the RSPP to carry the flag for painting), I am very curious to see the whole show this year and I strongly hope to be surprised.
I wonder how painters who work in this style are setting themselves new goals: do they go for ever more elaborate rendering, do they look for rocambolesque composition, do they concentrate on finding unusual subjects and points of view ? How do they see their art in a few years, and how will they keep the excitement in the long run ?
